Influence of the Weather. 
Mrs. M. had arrived at the little sta- 
tion in \ errnont on a cold, stormy eve- 
ning' and had hired an old man to drive 
her to her friend's farm up among 
the hills. The roads were in bad con- 
dition from the storm, and the ride 
was altogether a very uncomfortable 
one. ‘‘How much do I owe you?” she 
asked on arriving at her destination. 
"V ell, ma’am,” said the old man, “my 
reg’lar price is a dollar, but seein’ as 
it's sech a bad night and the goin so 
terrible, I’ll call it seventy-five cents.”

Available Ornithology. 
In the spring when the naturalist 
finds his fancy turning lightly to the 
things of the bird world, he should not 
look aloft to the tree tops but down to 
the flufify little chickens. 
In order to know the best kind, 
glance at the advertisement of the 
Rosemont Poultry Farms and Hatch- 
ery’s day old chicks.

I plant to live, while others plant to die; 
The longer I live, the better I’ll plant, 
And the more I plant, the better I’ll live.
